INTRODUCTION In this patent infringement action, plaintiffs Pfizer Inc., Pharmacia & Upjohn Company, Pharmacia & Upjohn Company LLC, Sugen, Inc., C.P.

The plaintiffs will collectively be referred to as "Pfizer." 1 Prior to trial, the parties submitted an exhibit of uncontested facts in conjunction with their Pretrial Order. (D.I. 138, Ex. 1.) The court takes most of its findings of fact from the parties' uncontested facts. The court has also reordered and renumbered some paragraphs, corrected some formatting errors, and made minor edits for the purpose of concision and clarity that it does not believe alters the meaning of the paragraphs from the Pretrial Order. Otherwise, any differences between this section and the parties' statement of uncontested facts are unintentional. The court's findings of fact with respect to matters that were the subject of dispute between the parties are included in Part III this opinion ("Discussion and Conclusions of Law"), preceded by the phrase "the court finds" or "the court concludes." 2 Case 1:10-cv-00528-GMS Document 163 Filed 10/22/14 Page 3 of 25 PageID #: <pageID> 8. Defendant Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("Mylan") is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of West Virginia, and has a place of business located at 781 Chestnut Ridge Road, Morgantown, WV 26505. 9. The court has subject matter jurisdiction, as well as personal jurisdiction over all parties. B. Background I. The idea of treating cancer by blocking angiogenesis, i.e., the formation of blood vessels, was first suggested in 1971. The concept, however, was still unproven in October 2000, and the FDA had not approved any drug for this purpose. 2. Of the many possible approaches to reduce angiogenesis, one branch of Sugen's research focused on using small molecules to inhibit receptor tyrosine kinases ("RTKs") on the cell surface. Various R TKs bind to external growth factors that promote angiogenesis and tumor growth, such as VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor), PDGF (platelet derived growth factor), and FGF (fibroblast growth factor). 3. Sugen's first compound to reach clinical studies was SU5416. It was the first small molecule shown to be effective in treating tumors by inhibiting angiogenesis. SU5416 was not orally bioavailable, meaning it could not be administered to a patient orally, and patients required frequent injections. SU5416 went all the way through FDA Phase III clinical trial but was never approved for market. 4. Sugen synthesized SU11248-what came to known as sunitinib--as part of a research project aimed at attacking tumors directly, rather than through angiogenesis inhibition. 5. Sunitinib has the following chemical structure: <N~ 0~ N H F H 0 3 Case 1:10-cv-00528-GMS Document 163 Filed 10/22/14 Page 4 of 25 PageID #: <pageID> C. The Patents-in-Suit 1.
